Re: WEST FINAL LEOS BOMBERS POST GAME THOUGHTS

Given how the first few series went, who would have thought it was our defense that would have made 2nd quarter adjustments to stymie the Bombers and not the offense? I am not taking anything away from Richie Hall the Bomber defense but we made a good defense look even better because it seems that w...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

For what it's worth, and a lot can happen between now and the start of free agency, but it certainly doesn't sound like Mathieu Betts has one foot out the door. To the contrary. Sounds like he really enjoys his time here and values his teammates and the organization. :thup: https://www.youtube.com/w...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

The Leos have drafted undersized defensive linemen in the last two drafts (Francis Bemiy and Nathan Cherry) for reasons I am not entirely certain. It is imperative that we draft Olinemen in the 2024 draft. The cupboard is rather bare with only Tyler Packer on the PR and I am not sure whether he show...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

It was hard to see on TV, but when I saw VA hanging on to the ball for so long, I got the feeling that the so called best receiver corps in the league couldn't get any separation. We can't hang the 9 sacks all on the Oline. You're right, VA often hung onto the ball long instead of throwing it away ...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

We had Butler. He was a stud both running and pass catching. Why did we move from him? The line has been as issue for years. Both of them. Why we don’t address these things is beyond me. We couldn't afford him. At least not without dropping salary elsewhere (which in hindsight could have been Lucky...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

My worst fears when I watched both (non-contact) injuries have been realized. Just brutal. I wonder if TJ now calls it a career?

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

Why are we not using Cottoy? Can be a tight end for us. Block and go upfield for 8-10 yard gains.

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

The Lions should "spy" Bighill by having a blocker on him on almost every play. No more than the Bombers should spy Lokombo. Really don't see Bighill and his 74 tackles as a threat anymore. More often than not he gets washed out by bigger linemen and, apart from that one play last game wh...

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

We shall see if the Leos' 3 biggest problem areas all season will be our demise for the 2023 season. * Lack of a run game. * Lack of consistent run stop. * Lack of discipline. It's possible that we can pass our way out of trouble so the run game becomes less important. It's possible too that we cont...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

I am happier with Moore activated. Thought he played well against the Stamps and had good pursuit on Maier. A bit more size inside. Siddiqi has taken penalties at some woefully inopportune times lately.

Also, no Winston Rose for the Bombers.

Re: Leos/Stamps Post Game Thoughts

One thing that is of concern is injuries to NATs. Chances of Jack Hinsperger playing after that hellacious collision with Logan can't be good. Hinsperger has been playing well in special teams coverage. If both he and Hladik can't suit up that's 2 NAT LBs out with limited options on who to suit up....

Re: Leos/Stamps Post Game Thoughts

Sorry, but I can't see Hladik playing. He emerged (in street clothes) from the locker room in the 2nd half with a noticeable limp. Very noticeable. One week is not enough to overcome that, even if it's just a contusion. And anything less than full mobility is going to handicap our linebacking corps....

Re: Lions vs Calgary West Semi - Keys to the Game

Is there a correlation between our "all-black" uniforms and the number of penalties we take? It may sound like an old wives' tale but there have been numerous studies conducted which suggest here that teams wearing black uniforms DO get penalized more often. It's the colour of aggression a...

Re: WSF: Lions vs. Stamps

Keys to the game: * It's essential that our Leos get off to a fast start, jump out to a lead, and dictate the game plan. If we can manage to go up by say, 10-14 points (in an ideal world), it will force the Stamps to rely more on Maier's arm, which is what we want. * Will Calgary try to confuse VA ...

Re: Teuhema Suspended for One Game

It was stupid and selfish on his part. Now he has hurt the team, organization, and fan base. I hope he takes his punishment like a man and doesn't make a joke out of the process by appealing so he can play the game. Stupid and selfish? Quite frankly, I am not sure how I would react in the heat of t...
